It's On You

It's On You

I make the mistake of speaking freely
To people that I take as friends 

Forgetting throughout that we are unlike 
Their conduct on falseness depends  

My honesty shocks and offends where I go
I should keep my mouth schtum but no!

You won't push me back into the abyss 
My opinion's as good as your own

Don't ask me my thoughts if you don't want to hear them
It's on you if you misread the tone
